## Resource

A powerful 5.9 magnitude earthquake rattled the lower South Island last night, catching broadcaster Marcus Lush live on air in Invercargill—where he famously kept broadcasting through the shaking, even cracking jokes. The quake, centered near Te Anau, triggered a tsunami warning for the coast from Milford Sound to Puysegur Point before being lifted. Listeners flooded in with wild stories: clocks swinging, beds rocking, and echoes of Christchurch memories. The show turned into an impromptu emergency hotline, proving how chaos can unexpectedly unite us. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
